“High Wind Framing Connection Guide” from Simpson Strong-Tie is designed to save code officials and contractors time by offering detailed prescriptive solutions for meeting uplift and lateral load requirements in areas with wind speeds of 100 to 140 mph. The guide was introduced as a companion guide to the American Forest and Paper Association’s “Wood Frame Construction Manual” to help builders and building officials with the rebuilding effort in the Gulf Coast region.
